For sale: The 342m and almost finished cruise ship is pictured in the shipyard of MV Merften in Wismar, Germany. The vessel’s sale, which began with three potential buyers, has attracted a ‘significant number’ of interested parties. — AFP
A number of potential buyers are lining up for Genting Hong Kong Ltd’s Global Dream –the unfinished mega liner set to be the world’s biggest cruise ship by capacity – and a deal needs to be inked by summer when the company’s shuttered German shipbuilder will run out of cash, says the liquidator overseeing the sale.
Still, the ship won’t be sold in a rush despite it sitting unfinished in a German shipyard that’s filed for insolvency, according to Christoph Morgen, the German court-appointed provisional insolvency administrator for MV Werften, the troubled shipbuilding unit owned by Genting.
